It's great to be able to find a chocolate that doesn't contain sugar and is health-oriented. I don't know much about medicinal mushrooms and I find the taste is fine, though I'm use to very dark chocolate (80% or higher). I add a lot of stevia and am surprised to find stevia's normal slight bitterness seems to be overwhelmed by the taste of the chocolate. Thanks for the free samples, Iherb. That's how I found this product.

I make a treat for myself out of coconut cream (Kara brand) mixed with a little water, cocoa power, xylitol and vanilla. It's delicious and this cacao power is a good replacement for the Green and Black high-end powder I was using. It's definitly not as rich or intense but it's fine for everyday use and the price is right.

When I went on a candida diet, I needed some help with regularity. I take two of these with my first meal of the day along with magnesium and it really helps me, very gently, stay regular. I tried another pricer brand -- I hope this one, which is readily available, is as good. Both did the job.

When a healer friend said she thought my estrogen was high and recommended this, I was having some light cramping throughout the month. I also have lumpy, bumpy breasts. I think this is helping a bit and I also want to be careful about messing with my hormones. Maybe I should read some books on it. The only odd thing was after sexual activity, I've felt unusually drained and was also having a few hot flashes. I'm not quite into menopause and don't normally have the flashes, so I backed off a little, from 3 to 2 a day. Also, I've put on a little weight and read that DIM can affect the thyroid. I don't know much about that and will try taking the lower dose.

Two gel caps provide only 6% of the Daily Value for iron. They recommend you take this amount 3 times a day. Strangely, two caps provides 3,333% of DV for B12. In any case, I think my body likes this iron. It just seems strange that it provides so little iron. It does say this type of iron is 33% more absorbable so maybe it's not as important as one might think.
